[tawny igloo]

Autoclimb is 110% more better, it feels so much smoother than the "hold shift to climb"

[lime vale]

Is there a god mode for switch?

[amber sparrow]

oh the update reset my bindings

bruh

some of the hud alignment is off for me, though i use a custom resolution

width is 1920 so i thought it'd be fine

[prisma halo]

Yeah that shit is a nightmare to get right because Unity UI sucks

[misty spindle]

Same thing kinda happens with crosshairs in the game I think
Where depending on the resolution and the size of it, you may see that some part of the crosshair is stretched or compressed, so a cross, doens't look like a perfect cross

Maybe it's a way to mimick how old games work on modern hardware ?

[prisma halo]

It's not intentional no

An unfortunate side effect of trying to use low res art with a system that treats it poorly

[misty spindle]

Oh, so there is no way to properly fix the crosshair and hud because of unity shenanigans

[prisma halo]

I'm sure there are ways, they're just more effort than it's probably worth

[quartz ferry]

Question, how does one enable the classic hud

[prisma halo]

Settings, Look, Advanced Display

[quartz ferry]

thanks

[misty spindle]

I also guess that's why the bilinear filtering on some crosshairs does have weird behaviour too
I learned something today, that's great! ^^

[prisma halo]

The filtering one is less Unity's fault and mostly because the game just wholesale sets filtering on every texture with some very specific exceptions

That system needs an overhaul to fix issues like that

[quartz ferry]

I do not see the option for the hud under advanced display

Unless I am missing something

[prisma halo]

You might not have the new patch installed

Are you on a separate branch? The SDK maybe?

[quartz ferry]

I have the sdk enabled

[prisma halo]

That would be why

The SDK branch includes an ancient version of the game

[misty spindle]

Honestly, it would be worth it for me ^^
But I'm just one guy, so I see what you mean
Thank you fo the answers

[prisma halo]

It's several patches behind

[quartz ferry]

So disabling it will solve the issue

[prisma halo]

Yeah

[crimson folio]

Just bought dusk yesterday

[quartz ferry]

If I re-enable it, will it revert on the patches or no

[prisma halo]

It will revert them yes

[quartz ferry]

Darn

[crimson folio]

Good game so far

[quartz ferry]

The hardest choices require the strongest wills

[royal void]

Is there an eta on when the gog version will be getting the update?

[prisma halo]

I don't handle that so I don't personally have one to give

[royal void]

Alright, no worries

[prisma halo]

I'll make a note of it internally to help push it along though

[royal void]

[quartz ferry]

Thanks for the quick-fix

[mild ginkgo]

it has been set live

[misty spindle]

[royal void]

Awesome! Looking forward to diving back in

[dark berry]

Should I buy dusk on sale?

[prisma halo]

You should buy it full price and then play it for two hours and one second

[dark berry]

A rather hilarious idea

[tawny igloo]

Dusk is one of those games where you can NOT shoot to the tempo

[dark berry]

Seeing as you are in some way involved in the development of Dusk and happen to be here, I see this as a premonition. Time to buy funny gun horror game

[tawny igloo]

Erebus reactor's tempo absoslutely goes to the beat of the motar

[jolly pulsar]

mmm..

i'm new to the game

i launched it today

and

it's in chinese

i don't know hot to switch it back

oh and binds are gone too...

[magic trout]

you didnt pirate it did you

[dense zenith]

lol even pirating still has binds and shit

Something seems sus

[crimson folio]

Perhaps validate ur files

[prisma halo]

Nah it's a known issue, sometimes the game just picks the wrong language for some reason

Been a bug for years

[prisma halo]

If you don't want to navigate the menus, you can open the game folder and browse to the config folder

Open dusk.ini in Notepad and change the language value to 0

[magic trout]

just wanted to make sure cuz there's been a fair few idiots which are like "guys why does my cybergrind not work :("

thank you for letting me know tho

[jolly pulsar]

wow did not expect ppl to actually help here 0_o

well that worked

thanks!

[prisma halo]

[lavish jewel]

sir this is the New Blood Discord server, essentially everyone is nice here

almost anyone*

[neon geyser]

The new dusk update is BASED

[crimson folio]

Instead of dusk dude

Why not dusk slayer

[amber sparrow]

dusk mf

One thing I like about "Ivan Dusk" is that Ivan is bacically the slavic equivalent of John, so it's also "John Dusk"

If he'll ever have a canon name, make sure it's Ivan

[past linden]

dusk is 10 bucks for me

[crimson folio]

help

how do i change language

When i opened Dusk it was Chinese or Japanese

how do i change it back to english?

[sudden yew]

Look at this message

[crimson folio]

ok

[crimson folio]

Because dusk slayer doesn't sound that good.

Duskdude sounds good.

[rugged star]

it took me a long time to find the language options

at least now i now where i need to go when my game turns to chinese

[tulip hound]

quick question how the hell do i change the hud into the classic one

[crimson folio]

There's an option for it, I think.

Don't know which one.

[tulip hound]

i am looking for it but cant find it

[rugged star]

go to options,look and there should be a hud opiton

its in the look section

if im not wrong

[tulip hound]

oh ok

[rugged star]

it says hud type

[tulip hound]

its in advanced display

oh shit this is sweet

[rugged star]

yea

[crimson folio]

Indeed.

[tulip hound]

why didnt they have this at launch???

fits the game so well

[abstract skiff]

Scott chaaaaaaaaan should receive a medal from Mr.Oshry and Mr.Szymanski...

[crimson folio]

Scott chan?

[abstract skiff]

Aye, diligent worker of New Blood Interactive.

[crimson folio]

Oh.

[abstract skiff]

Scott chan shortened the initial loading time significantly, implemented a proper ui finally...

[shrewd pumice]

just defeated the ||intoxigator|| and pressed/flipped the little button, where do I go next? Im stuck

[tranquil minnow]

Hole at bottom of wall at the back

Easy to miss

[shrewd pumice]

thanks, but i dont really understand

join vc

if thats ok

wait

cant stream dangit

ok hold on

hole at bottom of wall?

[tranquil minnow]

Eating lunch at the moment so can’t mate but in the room you fight him, opposite where you enter is a sort of alcove, on the left of the alcove is a small hole in the wall you crawl through

[shrewd pumice]

Oh thanks man

[tranquil minnow]

No worries, I got stuck at same point

[shrewd pumice]

👍

[tranquil minnow]

Happy dusking

[crimson folio]

#ranks

[shrewd pumice]

yeah i know

[crimson folio]

Aight.

[shrewd pumice]

Can we just have a moment of silence and appreciate how replayable all of new blood's games are?

[crimson folio]

Indeed

I played DUSK for like 2 times and I never got bored.

[shrewd pumice]

ikr

even a demo like gloomwood can be extremely replayable!

its seriously amazing how they do it

also, im tryna play duskworld but the buttons wont show up

just spins around ol pumpkin jack and plague doctor over here fighting over a mathematical symbol

[crimson folio]

Maybe the Duskworld Devs could help you.

[shrewd pumice]

k

thanks

[solar anvil]

I have eliminated big john

[crimson folio]

[amber sparrow]

imagine not befriending him

[crimson folio]

I tried, but he refused.

[amber sparrow]

you didn't try hard enough

[crimson folio]

I even offered him beer.

[amber sparrow]

did something change with hitboxes????

i swear it used to be possible to hop on the lava floor in erebus reactor without taking dmage

[crimson folio]

Could be the hitboxes.
Idk, haven't played the new update for DUSK.

[amber sparrow]

50 MB bigjohn

[shrewd delta]

50 MB bigjohn

[amber sparrow]

a cowgirl killed him

remove cowgirls from the game

[crimson folio]

Poor John.

[stone thistle]

The version number shown on the main menu still says 1.5 but with the update from today it should be 1.8 (GOG version used).

[crimson folio]

I would say

reinstall your game.

[stone thistle]

I did a clean install using the latest GOG offline installer files.

[crimson folio]

Ah.

[wispy fog]

i dont like dusk

[amber sparrow]

it's ok, but only if you don't like ultrakill either

[wispy fog]

glad i didnt buy it

[wispy fog]

ultrakills my favorite new blood game

beat it

[amber sparrow]

do you like it tho

you don't like it do you

[wispy fog]

i wonder

with 30 hours on the game

no i dont think

[amber sparrow]

cool

i was worried

[amber sparrow]

good

[solar anvil]

dusk is fun

[crimson folio]

Very fun.

[misty spindle]

The classic hud seems to show more of the weapon than it should, at least on the PC patch
Is it a bug or something intended?

[upbeat pecan]

more weapons?

[misty spindle]

no, like the weapon is raised from its default to compensate the classic hud height, but it seems to compensate too much

[upbeat pecan]

oh sorry I misread it as more weapons. Yea it does change the height of the weapon but that was intentional

you can still change the size of the weapon with a slider tho in options

[misty spindle]

Here is a comparison between the two to explain what I mean by showing more of the weapon model

[crimson folio]

Oh damn.

Well, that's kinda neat I guess.

[upbeat pecan]

it's just changing the weapon size a little but looks like its bringing it in closer to keep it roughly the same size on scren

I think the weapon placement changes for the HUD look nice but I always turn weapon sizing down to like 0.5-0.7 or so depending on mood because 1.0 is massive lol

[cold bay]

I hate this update.

[misty spindle]

That's some pretty big claim.

[cold bay]

I really dont like it.

sure we dont have the level changes but there are still many other ways its fucked over speedruns

[misty spindle]

How so ?

[amber sparrow]

there actually were level changes?

[cold bay]

we have spent the past two years running without auto bhop. the buffered jumps are pleanty fine for pc, but now take this for example, https://youtu.be/EnirR-djJQE it took me hours to get a tunnel this fast, but now anyone could just turn on auto bhop and do it.

[amber sparrow]

would explain the lava floor on erebus reactor feeling different

...

[cold bay]

level changes were kept to switch

[amber sparrow]

I mean

Was pressing jump the good part about speedrunning

All you had to do was to re-press after leaving the ground

[cold bay]

there isnt much to speedrunning dusk. but that was not the only thing that was changed.

[amber sparrow]

What else was changed

[cold bay]

they changed the climbing powerup such that this https://youtu.be/7Z1kHxG_a0k is no longer feasible

I get that these are supposed to be a quality of life improvements but they are not for the people who have been playing the game for the past two years.

[misty spindle]

Classic HUD Blue key slot is shown through a black colour when owned which is weird :/

Overall I like the classic hud, it's very sexy, but the colours of the weapon's list is kinda blurred by the similar colours between owned, equipped, and the hud's background for the first two episodes, and the colours of the key could need a little more something to be more readable I feel
It's readable, but just a little bit more would be perfect

[vale oar]

What

[crimson folio]

It's telling you to go away.

Do as you're told.

[vale oar]

No

[crimson folio]

Carry on then.

[prisma halo]

The pre-update versions haven't gone anywhere (Steam allows you to download old versions), and while I understand it may be annoying, accessibility is a bit more important

They're optional anyway

[upbeat pecan]

That particular wall with that particular style of boost was there before patch too for what its worth

but it works differently on solid walls now

Solid walls now behave like the ghost wall on e2m1

that ghost wall wasn't really used in runs at all

[cold bay]

it is notably very different. with the current patch its look at specific angle and slide against wall where as before you were actually boosting. like try doing that along the cave wall in E3MS

its not going to work well

[cold bay]

I am pretty sure steam doesnt let you down patch now

[upbeat pecan]

I read something that said it still would let you down patch outside of that tweet

but downpatching in general is a death sentence to a game for running unless its super popular like DE, look at poor amid evil lol

[cold bay]

^

dusk already has not been doing well for the past several months

[upbeat pecan]

but yea pretty much that ghost wall on e2m1 used to use that angle style of boosting and still does. And solid walls used to kinda slingshot you with mouse wiggles but now require the angle boosts like the wall on e2m1

[tardy slate]

yeah especially the sdk version

still there same as it was a year before :^)

speaking of
would it be possible for you guys to add the normal dusk to the sdk build in a separate folder or smth

because i dont want to reinstall dusk just to get a normal experience with it

with all the new updates

[prisma halo]

If the behaviour differs with the new mode turned off, that's a bug

And yeah, the "Steam won't let you downgrade anymore!!!!!" thing was misinformation

[prisma halo]

The whole branch setup rn for the SDK is messy, we should improve it at some point yeah

[tardy slate]

do you guys update the gog version at the same time as steam?

[prisma halo]

It's a separate process hence why we often forget lol

[cold bay]

yes it does not work the same, even with it off.

[tardy slate]

oh lol
i was hoping to use that as an alternative for casual play

[prisma halo]

I'll have a review of the code changes for autoclimb tomorrow then

It's possible something slipped through

The new behaviour is supposed to be completely opt-in

That was a conscious choice specifically because speedrunners wouldn't like us removing it

Okay yeah there are some behaviour changes that aren't guarded behind the check for the menu option

I'll see if we can fix that before the hotfix is locked in

[cold bay]

cool ty

[upbeat pecan]

[charred nova]

Tfw for 10h I didn't knew that you could jump from walls with climb powerup

[heady lion]

Whats low tech mean?

[lapis widget]

No guns

[carmine spear]

Only scythes

[heady lion]

Ohh

[lapis widget]

And objects

[carmine spear]

yeah

[solemn solstice]

gotta say nice job to the people over at newblood on that trailer and dusk port way more than i thought it would be and a really nice addition to the franchise

[amber sparrow]

john himself

Ivan

[shrewd pumice]

so when I open DUSKWORLD, theres no UI?

It just keeps spinning around the 2 bruhs fighting over a plus

What did/do i do?

[lapis widget]

Press buttons

[wise crane]

Click

[shrewd pumice]

I tried

Didnt work

[grave saddle]

Press escape.

[shrewd pumice]

Havent tried that, thanks

ay it worked'

[shrewd pumice]

thanks mate

[vale birch]

Hi. I saw someone asking for the switch optimizations for performance to come to pc

whata are those optimizations? Besides less particles and less dynamic lights for enemy bullets?

[tawny igloo]

He's from Pennsylvania though so what would be a good Pennsylvanian name for duskdude

[grave saddle]

I was thinking Ishmael or Jonah.

Both for symbolic purposes.

[shrewd pumice]

Oh yeah, whats difference does intruder mode make?

[jolly pulsar]

OH C'MON IT DELETES ALL MU BINDS EVERYTIME NOW

*my

[lapis widget]

Start every level with only sickles

[shrewd pumice]

ohhhh

thanks

[heady lion]

I can take it 🥲

[mild ginkgo]

There's an insane amount of code optimizations etc that have not been ported, those small visual adjustments were the least of the changes

[upbeat pecan]

Does capping fps not work for anyone else

I wanna play at 35fps lol

[woven elm]

not playing at 69 fps

which window mode are you using

[upbeat pecan]

default

[woven elm]

I'll take a look in a sec

[mild ginkgo]

We'll look at that as well

[hexed roost]

make sure vsync is disabled

[upbeat pecan]

oh yea that was it

always have that off but its been defaulting my settings

so didnt realize

[woven elm]

out of interest, why are you capping to 35?

is that the bottom end of your VRR range?

[hexed roost]

sorry we pushed a new config as well a few hours ago which probably reset your settings (again)

[vale birch]

can we expect similar optimizations in the pc version soon? Or are just switch excluisve

[woven elm]

iirc the weapon wheel was getting ported across?

could be mistaken

[lapis widget]

it is

already is in game

[woven elm]

oh neat

[mild ginkgo]

Also wrt the speedrunning issues, I know zombie already addressed this, but I would like you to be aware that your community was talked about at length in our decision making process. While we knew the addition of Auto limb and auto jump would be non ideal for you, we did have every intent to make it so that it would not be difficult to keep it refined to a category. Given there are problems there, we will do what we can to fix that

[woven elm]

it's been a while since I hopped on

[mild ginkgo]

Some may get there, some will definitely not (they are switch specific)

[woven elm]

on a somewhat related note

I'm looking forward to messing around with dusk on steam deck

I've no idea how that'll pan out, and I've no doubt my aim will be terribad

[upbeat pecan]

Idm it personally because the option is there to turn it off and the community itself can just choose to allow or ban it

for the autohop auto climb

the only that felt off was the climb boosting had changed and you could no longer make a cycle on a certain map that was a time loss edit: even with auto climb off

but sounds like thats being addressed. But I appreciate that the speedruns were thought of on the update even though we're not the main userbase

but I think if the autohop gets more players interested in the movement of the game to then pick up the run it sounds like overall a net good thing. I see a lot of casual streamers get through the whole game and not realize there was bhops or a way to increase speed

[mild ginkgo]

Right, it's hard to make both crowds happy, but we want to do our best to

So we will fix anything that would effect the normal route

[pseudo citrus]

wack

[upbeat pecan]

and on gamepad autohop auto climb is pretty godly. I played thru the first ep on a controller and it makes a world of difference in the quality of life

[crimson folio]

speaking of a controller, any chance for vibration?

[mild ginkgo]

Obviously you guys will have to have the discussion about banning the options, but we made it an option

[tawny igloo]

I genuinely can't wait for the SDK to come out fully so that people can use the climb thing and the grapple orbs to their full potential

[upbeat pecan]

yea the autohop is kinda a non issue imo. If it was forced on that would be different

https://streamable.com/f4tp60

this particular wall is different too on climbing

[mild ginkgo]

Just as a show of good faith, here is a small piece of that discussion

[upbeat pecan]

lol

[mild ginkgo]

We will definitely look at restoring the way it works, the intent was for all changes to be confined to the option

[upbeat pecan]

yea makes sense. The quality of life changes are nice for both for regular play which will be the majority of the userbase anyway

but the option to keep it as it was for runs is really nice since we've all spent a bunch of hundreds of hours grinding it on the old way

on that vid I linked, normally on that section you hold jump + climb to move up faster than base climbing, now when you hold jump it just locks you into place. Only on that particular wall which I assume is because its angled a little

[crimson folio]

okay 😦

[mild ginkgo]

We dont currently have plans to add it, but we can investigate the possibility

[crimson folio]

yes!

that'd be great

:hug:

really adds to the weapon kick

plus the video for Switch mentioned it (i think?), so i was hoping it would make its way to PC version too

[woven elm]

does Unity still not have native support for that feature? 🤔

[crimson folio]

it was a bit surprising that it wasn't there tbh

[woven elm]

I don't think the game engine in use makes it straightforward

I can see some Windows specific implementations but not many (any?) cross plat solutions

[coarse ivy]

yea, I'm honestly looking for a Steam key, as I don't really see much activity on GOG

[crimson folio]

well, hopefully some vibration 😏 happens

[upbeat pecan]

I like that the HUD was made 4:3 compatible too

[crimson folio]

also, the "tutorial" prompts in the beginning (action key/flashlight/etc.) still pop up showing keyboard bindings, even when using a pad

also, the game does not remember cursor position in the menu when using a pad, so going back though the options always moves the cursor to the topmost option, so you have to scroll down to where you were again

[upbeat pecan]

Now we can finally play Dusk as it was meant to be. 35 fps lock, Locked Y axis, keyboard only controls with keyboard look auto aim, 4:3 and heavy pixelation, no jumping unless progression mandates

https://streamable.com/4kvt2r

[woven elm]

lmao neat

them phillips' hard to see but that's dope

[upbeat pecan]

kinda the bitrate compression but Ive been wanting to try a playthru like this since the classic HUD was announced

idea was between keyboard or n64 controller

but easier to lock Y axis on keyboard

[tawny igloo]

Someone better have this set up for a actual CRT

[woven elm]

give it a minute

[tawny igloo]

Or make a secret 4:3 mode on switch

[lime vale]

Are their more cheats in switch port than just the Konami code?

[karmic orchid]

i love dusk

[swift needle]

I love Dusk too

[queen schooner]

i love dusk three

[quick saffron]

finally other folks that love dusk like me

[tawny igloo]

DUSK

ITS GOOD FOR YOU

DUSK

[maiden python]

Dusk is pretty neat, yes

[tawny igloo]

Dusk ads but it's recreating the quake advertisements

There's a leatherneck in all of them

[olive cloud]

huh

[crimson folio]

who can help me to complete level? I got stuck( i have image but i can't post it he so DM me)

i done it

[lime vale]

Dusk is a very good game

By the way there is no weaponscroll in Duskworld

[grave saddle]

Because DuskWorld is macaroni art.

[lapis widget]

[sand mortar]

Hey guys, maybe this is just me, but I feel like the bounce platforms dont bounce you as high anymore. Like on erebus reactor I was unable to jump to the side platforms in the room using the bounce pads, when I used to be able to do so without an issue. Same thing for the one bouncer in blood and bone, cant get up to the turret platform, always falling short

[radiant basalt]

Don't know if this video was posted before, but...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqbwqABhk50

[sly path]

Me when DUSK Switch still isn't available in New Zealand

[sand mortar]

Nvm just patched it, fixed

[wintry forge]

I bought dusk on switch, today is a good day

[upbeat pecan]

ah yea seems as tho even with perfect jumps it damages you every other hit

I think thats a change for the better tbh. It makes the lava floor actually be a lava floor

[amber sparrow]

idk it's inconsistent across the game

some damaging volumes don't reach high enough to damage you if you jump

some are so low you need to crouch

or at least one of them is. or was

[upbeat pecan]

i was just testing erebus

lava sections seem fine

all the meme exploits still work

like holding the soap and shooting at the same time

or pushing thru tunnels

to get oob

[deft ingot]

dusk is a good game
ultrakill is also a good game

[tawny igloo]

Love that mod to peices, although it's missing my man the leatherneck

[crude frost]

dusk is 8 gigs and i have like 0.5 available 🥲

[tawny igloo]

8 gigs?

I thought it was 2

[lapis widget]

it is 8

[upbeat pecan]

riot shield still works lol

not doable on controller tho

[proven sinew]

damn thats clever

that could work really well on duskmare actually

[upbeat pecan]

I never found a good use for it outside memes

you can't stop firing or you lose it

[proven sinew]

wait how do you hold it and shoot at the same time

[upbeat pecan]

scroll wheel abuse

and quick melee

[proven sinew]

ah interesting

[upbeat pecan]

pick up item > quick melee > then scroll wheel to change

have to keep holding quick melee tho

[scenic dune]

guys what version is dusk now

the new and old thing

[lapis widget]

the thing

[scenic dune]

no like

what number is it

what number version is the new update

[mild ginkgo]

We don't assign version numbers to updates usually

[waxen crag]

is dusk an insim now?

[mild ginkgo]

If you're asking because of GOG, the number there is 1.8, but the menu will say 1 5

[lapis widget]

#gloomwood

[tawny igloo]

Gloomwood tbbh is prequel dusk

[sour ravine]

are there any good dusk mods?

[lavish jewel]

there's a mod where everything is Big John's face

[scenic dune]

okay so the new and old is 1.8

[lavish jewel]

and I consider that a cult classic

[scenic dune]

right @mild ginkgo

[mild ginkgo]

yep

[scenic dune]

damn

[mild ginkgo]

is there an issue?

let me know if there is

ill address it asap

[scenic dune]

nah

i mean technically but there aint no fix, its just to know

[mild ginkgo]

We can fix it

we simply just forgot to update the version ingame lol

[glass flume]

dusk may just be the best console port ever

[lethal finch]

For the upcoming () co-op multiplayer campaign, will it be limited to how many people can join your server or will there be some sort of player cap?

[lavish jewel]

wait there's gonna be coop?

[lapis widget]

[lethal finch]

As far as I'm aware, 500_pts had mentioned it previously, if I'm not mistaken, of course.

[lavish jewel]

yep I'm 100% reinstalling Dusk now

no second thoughts on this one

[lapis widget]

timeline now after switch is the sdk,and co-op

[heady halo]

Let's go

[lavish jewel]

hell yes

signing up for the LFGs as usual

[lethal finch]

Part of me is hoping that there is no player cap for the co-op experience, but at the same time that might extend development for an unreasonable amounts of time considering that a feature of "unlimited" players might only be fully utilized once or twice.

[heady halo]

I hope co-op means a Dusk Dude model will be made

[lavish jewel]

I feel like they're gonna keep the MP models

[lethal finch]

Besides, it's not as if we'll have this many people in a single server:

https://youtu.be/79G1JagFDKc

[lavish jewel]

but it would be awesome if a model was made

[lapis widget]

probably

[lethal finch]

Me too. I'm not sure what else the multiplayer model would be besides Dusk Dude.

[lavish jewel]

imagine 16 Dusk Dudes annihilating the final boss

[lapis widget]

most likely you'll be able to use a selection of models like in duskworld

[glass flume]

is there no super shotgun in the mamma mia flesh palace?

or am i blind

[lethal finch]

Perhaps, although I'd feel a bit unusual playing with the monsters you destroy. Then again, who cares about immersion when you're playing with a bunch of friends. Lol.

[lapis widget]

look harder

[glass flume]

:(

[lavish jewel]

damn

[glass flume]

i guess i am blind huh

[lavish jewel]

btw is the Mamma Mia Palace coming to PC at some point or just Switch exclusive

[lapis widget]

still to be determined

[lavish jewel]

ah understandable

[lethal finch]

If the Mama Mia Flesh Palace is added, will the GOG exclusive map be added as well?

[lapis widget]

probably not

[lavish jewel]

never heard of that one

lotsa new info learned today

[glass flume]

theres a gog map?

[lethal finch]

Unfortunate, yet understandable.

[glass flume]

time to buy dusk again

[lethal finch]

Lel.

[glass flume]

Dusk is gonna be new skyrim/re4

put it on everything

[lavish jewel]

good

it deserves it

[lapis widget]

[glass flume]

ill buy it every time

[lime vale]

It’s a good game

Worth buying it

[misty spindle]

Am I the only one seeing the crushers being slightly misplaced in E2M4 for the Hallowed Health, right under the Yellow Key Room ? They clip a little bit through the wall

[mild ginkgo]

which version of the game

[unique thorn]

my favorite part of dusk is when the game is broken and unplayable and i actually cannot beat it

[lavish jewel]

where's that part at?

[unique thorn]

the first climbing powerup

it just doesnt

[lapis widget]

you're on pc?

[unique thorn]

yes

[lapis widget]

hold shift

[lavish jewel]

yeah

[unique thorn]

wh

ok

"hold walk" more like "hold shift"

AHAHAHAHA

[lavish jewel]

Walk is bound to shift

[lethal finch]

Confirmed n00b.

[lavish jewel]

sooo

[edgy meadow]

Not b-hopping everywhere

[lavish jewel]

I just got an idea for a level

Rat Kingdom

it's just rats everywhere and the boss is a huge rat with a crown on it

[lapis widget]

||E3MS||

[lavish jewel]

oh right

I completely forgot about that one

[lapis widget]

[lavish jewel]

that is in fact the only level I didn't get to

yet

I passed all others and only that one is left

[wide laurel]

Why is Dave the only Big John here?

[lavish jewel]

because

he is THE Big John

[hearty niche]

I tried dusk and uh

Tbh I didn't really like it

[lavish jewel]

honestly I respect that

[crisp marsh]

something old! something new! something fuck you! coming soon ™️

[solar anvil]

i beat dusk

and i love it

[lavish jewel]

hell yes

[mild ginkgo]

thanks for trying it though! totally understandable, its not for everyone

ill say it gets better later in the game, its a slow burn start

[storm lintel]

guys i've bought DUSK

gonna play it tommorow

[hearty niche]

Yeah I just don't really enjoy going through most of a level and then going all the way back because I died

[mild ginkgo]

did you try saving?

[hearty niche]

Fuck

Oh well

[mild ginkgo]

hahha yeah its designed with quicksaving in mind

we actually added a tutorial prompt for it in the switch port

we shouldve done that on pc as well

we did write it directly on the wall in some places 🤣

[lapis widget]

Add it the the loading tips

[storm lintel]

pog

[worn flare]

ugh how do i restart a level

im stuck in the lava on erebus reactoer and i accidently quicksaved

how do i restart the level without losing all my weapons

[lapis widget]

Isn’t there a restart option when you die?

[worn flare]

press e to live again

just puts me back

in to my quicksave

so i instantly die unlessi start bhopping

[lapis widget]

Ah

[worn flare]

is there a way to get out of the lava pit?

id assume so since theres loot downt here

[lapis widget]

Go to the level select screen and just pick what load out you have

[crimson folio]

Press f1 to quick restart levels

[lavish jewel]

teleporter is somewhere around in the pit I think

[worn flare]

i bound that to f9 and it just puts me back to my quicksave

[crimson folio]

Well you can still use the pause menu right

[worn flare]

yeah

[crimson folio]

Just do what galv said and go to the episode 1 level select

Campaign > the foothills > whatever difficulty

[crude frost]

i love buying like 3 games at once and not being able to fit them

dusk, the room, and postal 2

[lapis widget]

Rather ep2

[crude frost]

can't fit a single one of them

[crimson folio]

Whitch ones

[worn flare]

ah okay

i guess that worked

[crude frost]

these ones

[crimson folio]

Oh, i cant read

Instead ill post neobabel screenshots

Fucking love this place

[crude frost]

this place is great

[crimson folio]

also! the game disables flashlight when you exit from the menu (unpause) with B on a pad (since it's the same button) and i'm pretty sure it's not supposed to do that

[torpid patio]

why is dusk cheaper on gog

[lapis widget]

no

[torpid patio]

no

[crude frost]

i was able to fit the room thank god

i bought the second "the room" now i have 2 dollars in my bank account

[manic marlin]

is the mp for dusk dead forever cause i got this game on sale and all servers are barren

[lapis widget]

#903113855964680252

[lost current]

just rebought dusk boiiis

i did it for the spookynight

[wide laurel]

Soaped is an amazing level and a testament to how powerful soaps truly are

[somber venture]

any reason why macos hasn't gotten some of the new features yet?

[mild ginkgo]

The mac and linux versions are still in testing and will be available shortly

[somber venture]

coolio!

thanks

[heady lion]

Wendigo caught me off guard and I threw my switch..

[lapis widget]

welll thats one way i guess

[pulsar zinc]

hm

after the pc update my settings reset to default everytime i enter the game

so i have to rebind all my keys and change all the settings each time i launch the game

uhhh nevermind? i guess that only happened once.

[lapis widget]

yea,that was mentioned before

[pulsar zinc]

hm all right

[pliant bloom]

does the cigar still heal you 1hp? im replaying it now since beating it for the first time and the cigar is doing nothing

[lapis widget]

Are you have full health?

[pliant bloom]

does it only go up to 100

[lapis widget]

Yea

[pliant bloom]

im at 187 lol, thanks

[torpid patio]

i am going to play some dusk cause i am fucking sick of trying to p-rank 1-3 in #ultrakill

[pliant bloom]

I had SO much trouble P-Ranking 4-4

[reef apex]

i buyed dusk because i didnt have another thing to do in ultrakill

[pliant bloom]

I bought Dusk and UK at the same time and thought Ultrakill was better, but now I have nothing to do in it so I'm revisiting Dusk. this is my 2nd playthrough now

[reef apex]

i think both games have different directions

[pliant bloom]

Dusk is a classic boomer shooter, Ultrakill is something completely different

[reef apex]

yes

and a bit of horror

[pliant bloom]

Ultrakill tried something that was never done before and succeeded with flying colors

no way dude i just sent a gas can to the stratosphere and sniped it with the pistol

[reef apex]

i do that with the shotgun because shotgun cool weapon

[torpid patio]

shotgun is based

does Intruder have a brown beard or a white beard? i have seen it change depending of the image, so what is the real deal?

[tawny igloo]

Ultrakill is a fighting game disguised as a fps

Newblood fighter when oshry

Stylized like the old virtra fighter games

[lapis widget]

*character action game

[grave saddle]

Dusk Dude, I believe, has a grey beard.

In between.

[pulsar zinc]

Playing through on the switch version again. Feels much better with the pro controller.

[strong copper]

Oh shit the Dusk 82 ost is on YT Music now

It appears to also be on Spotify

[lapis widget]

https://open.spotify.com/album/7qfVYXEYGEMxVY5UzxXWJI?si=6Dndz7JnSZCLCfb_VlOaww

[tawny igloo]

Dusk has no place working so good on controllers

I think I saw there was this one dude who'd give games a negative rating immediately cause the game supported controllers

Like fuming pissed

Lmao they're gonna miss out how much the controller shakes when the tornado comes in

[reef apex]

problally we will get a multiplayer mode that are 1v1s

[steep vine]

Ooookay i'm probably gonna ignore this chat cause i just started dusk blind

and there's spoilers everywhere

[tawny igloo]

No multiplayer us in the works or planned for ultrakill unfortunately

[lapis widget]

Yes

[tawny igloo]

Even then you'd be pit with players that would be like herbmessiah which is a boss in itself

[pulsar zinc]

Sounds like an asshole lol

Shooters work perfectly fine on controller

[strong copper]

More fps games really need gyro controls tbh

[steep vine]

ultrakill is more of a one player experience really

[tawny igloo]

Yeah

[steep vine]

dusk on the other hand

[tawny igloo]

Duskworld is like playing chicken with Bugattis

Everyone is moving at 400mph, everyone has a shotgun

[grave saddle]

DuskWorld is a fantastic mess.

[strong copper]

Last time I booted up Duskworld I got the true boomer shooter experience of having nobody to play against

[steep vine]

BRUH

i mean at this point you're better off just setting up multiplayer matches through here

[wise crane]

#903113855964680252

[grave saddle]

Not to mention those who can actually rivet-jump.

They are scary.

[steep vine]

rivet jumping is eaasyyyy

i mained solder

[lapis widget]

Don’t mess with duskworld regulars

[tawny igloo]

I mean I'm pretty sure people are sportsmanship enough to not go absoslutely ham on new players

[grave saddle]

Here's the thing.

[tawny igloo]

Cause if you go too much on new players=they quit and don't play and no new players

[wise crane]

Uh 👀

[grave saddle]

If you do not tell us.

We will not.

Furthermore.

We will not.

[tawny igloo]

I've played a lot of quake so im kinda used to fast paced arena shooters

Dusk though has some new stuff I gotta learn from playing against others though

[grave saddle]

SSG cool down is burned in my brain.

[strong copper]

super sausage gun

[tawny igloo]

Like how you can store bhopping speed on a wall and then just ejac across the map at Mach 2

[pulsar nova]

damn, did reflections of violence not get a dusk 82 version?

that was my favorite song in dusk

[pliant bloom]

what

[grave saddle]

DuskWorld is great.

[tawny igloo]

YEAH JUST HUG THE WALL, STRAFE HOP INTO IT AND THEN GO THE OTHER DIRECTION

It's some Mario 64 shit

[grave saddle]

I've gotten several double kills on schmucks with the SSG.

One that I can remember with the hunting rifle.

[tawny igloo]

At most I just hope pepole are chill with just fragging instead of throwing a fit when they lose, it's pretty unworthy when you're not being Bros gibbing each other

[strong copper]

I'm on at least my tenth playthrough of this game and I still haven't beaten E3M9

[grave saddle]

I haven't had a problem with salt.

[wise crane]

Obviously y'all have never been in VC with @olive cloud 😁 ✌️

[grave saddle]

As a mute, I have no reason to initiate calls.

[tawny igloo]

I cackle like a maniac when I play deathmatch in quake against friends

But I do usually ask if they want to have it go easy where i can miss Intentionally so they can get some kills in or just play against me like how I usually do and it's the latter most of the time

It's kinda endearing when they said "I like the challenge"

[wise crane]

Playing against new people is a good time to practice with HR

[tawny igloo]

Hunting rifle is so fun to use on PC and switch

You get a shot of endorphins when you get a clean shot

[tawdry kestrel]

I know you guys are having a conversation but, I beat dusk for the first time and man, that game rocks. It might be one of the best games I played this year that isn't halo infinite or No more heroes 3

[pliant bloom]

does it only work in duskworld, i just tried it in a level and i didnt notice any speed boost beyond what is normally possible by strafehupping

[mild ginkgo]

hey thanks man, appreciate the support!

[tawdry kestrel]

you're welcome

fucking love this game

[tawny igloo]

Dusk one of the few games I consider to be placed alongside quake and doom as my favorites

If it ever gets a big box release it's sitting next to my copy of TUD fullstop

[tawdry kestrel]

Nice

what can you do with the soap in dusk

[strong copper]

cleanse yourself and the world around you

[tawdry kestrel]

sweet

[tawdry kestrel]

L0l

[tawny igloo]

POV: you're a cultist

You do NOT know how hard it was to look for a trenchcoat that had a big ass collar

I tried to look for something close to the comic version

[abstract skiff]

Soap looks so holy...

[tawny igloo]

Ofc cause it makes cultists blink and suddenly they're in hell

[lapis widget]

Soap from the vatican

[strong copper]

nah it's regular soap
It kills them instantly because none of them have showered in months

[crimson folio]

#ultrakill

[lapis widget]

Shut up

[tawny igloo]

I shower every day

Duskdude practices healthy hygiene by forcing cultists to shower

Has anyone done a run of dusk by just ONLY using soap

The gnome run in hl2 but with soap

[abstract skiff]

Soap soap soap.

[grave saddle]

I just bought a big oilskin for my take on it.

Sucker was expensive, but so worth it.

[tawny igloo]

For my duskdude cosplay I don't have like, a trenchcoat but I have a big leather jacket

Real leather too, black

I feel like duskdude is a very easy cosplay to do, just gotta have a good beard or just use a knitted one

Like those fake beards that go around your ears and onto your mouth

Don't know where you can get sickles though

[grave saddle]

Antique stores.

That's where I got mine.

[lapis widget]

Just carry a bar of soap

[tawny igloo]

Or if any store can sell prop sickles

[grave saddle]

Most Halloween stores will carry a few props.

They look like shit and are made of plastic.

The one I found is curved and of darkened metal.

[tawny igloo]

10+ pts if the antique sickles you buy are Rusty

[grave saddle]

Dull as hell, but that just makes it a better prop.

Here, let me grab a picture of it.

[tawny igloo]

I keep procrastinating but I've been wanting to remake the dusk SSG out of cardboard tubes

[crimson folio]

Is that Classic HUD update out on Steam yet?

[lapis widget]

Yes

[tawny igloo]

Also on GOG if I heard correctly

[grave saddle]

Here's that.

Fifteen dollars.

[crimson folio]

Do I need to revert to the standard DUSK on Steam? (Instead of dusk_sdk)

[grave saddle]

(Yes)

[lapis widget]

Also your settings will be reverted

[grave saddle]

Couldn't find another one.

But honestly... I need an arm to take the picture with.

So.

[crimson folio]

That’s fine. I don’t think I really messed with any lol

[reef apex]

wait

what its dusk sdk

[lapis widget]

Mods

[tardy slate]

wow you devs caused kind of a shitstorm for speedrunners

with autohop lol

[wide laurel]

Why would you leak the collector's edition of DUSK like that?

[grave saddle]

Collector's Edition of Dusk; have a sickle.

[tawny igloo]

Oh fucking yeahi forgot, the addition of keyboard menu controls is such a good thing

[wide laurel]

But no game, you must buy it separately

[grave saddle]

Swear to Nyarlathotep, if Dusk's collector's edition doesn't come with a cigar and double-barrel shotgun I will be very disappointed.

[tawny igloo]

I'm so used to playing quakespasm that I reach for the arrow keys to select stuff since you don't have a mouse in it

[wide laurel]

Or a statue of Big John that speaks when you press a button

"HAUUR, KILL ME!"

[grave saddle]

Bitch, I want that.

[lapis widget]

pull-me big john doll

[grave saddle]

I'd pay up to, like, eighty dollars for a big box.

[tawny igloo]

Lmao a dusk super collectors edition where it comes with a actual one of a kind SSG real life model that actually can fire shells and is licenced but you have to show you have a gun permit or license to buy it

[grave saddle]

Big John plushie.

Turn Oshry into marketable plushie.

[wide laurel]

New Blood is trying to prepare us for when we have to fight against the wizards and leathernecks

[wide laurel]

I just realized that John is supposed to be Oshry

This is just embarrassing lmao

[tawny igloo]

Genuinely want to see a comic where what happens if you fall asleep in dusk on the beds

[grave saddle]

"The hell is he doing?"
"Sleeping. He's had a long day, let him be."

[tawny igloo]

Like, a cultist comes in on duskdude sleeping and is about to throw a fireball but a leatherneck is like "yo nonononono don't" "why, he's easy to kill" "if you've seen him kill everyone, I don't think you'd like a grumpy sleep deprived intruder"

[wide laurel]

Someone needs to make an animation where they tuck Dusk Dude to bed

[grave saddle]

"You don't know if he's picked up any diamonds recently, dude could just brush off your fireball through the power of his sheer fucking will."

[tawny igloo]

I'd like to imagine a Tucker and Dale type situation of like two leathernecks that they're not involved with the main story but they seem to follow duskdude everywhere one step behind

By the way Tucker and Dale versus evil is such a good movie you need to watch that

[lapis widget]

"damn,that dude is like...fast"

[wide laurel]

In the inevitable Dusk sequel, I hope we can kill things with the cigar, but it's just a one-time use per level

[grave saddle]

Cancer.

[lapis widget]

[tawny igloo]

Like the two leathernecks are part of the cult, but would rather reap the benefits of like, free food or whatever than actually do cult stuff

[wide laurel]

The powers of an Old One just made duskdude full John Wick

[mild ginkgo]

"inevitable sequel"

[wide laurel]

Wait, what does this mean?

[lapis widget]

no rest for the weary

[mild ginkgo]

the thought of how much work it is!

[tawny igloo]

It's gonna be a WHILE before a dusk 2

Tops 7 years

[lapis widget]

sleepless nights

[mild ginkgo]

lmao who knows how long

will it happen? definite possibility

will it happen soon? who knows?

[tawny igloo]

At most I imagine dusk 2 try emulating games like Half-Life 2

[wide laurel]

I can wait honestly. With how many bangers they're releasing and cooking up in the oven, I'm good for now

[grave saddle]

I've been here since May, seeing all the work and blood that goes into the pretty much finished Dusk puts into perspective how much of a slog game development is.

[tawny igloo]

Step forward from dusk being based on quake

[mild ginkgo]

you also gotta remember we are like, very extremely not a real "company"

we're a bunch of morons who happen to make videogames lol

[wide laurel]

FUUUUUCK, that would be amazing

Which says a lot considering DUSK is already dripped in atmosphere

[tawny igloo]

Dusk 2 will finally have duskdude's arms

[mild ginkgo]

dusk 1 weirdly had player hands

[wide laurel]

Have you thought that maybe his hands are just comically small?

[mild ginkgo]

they were just cut early on

because well

[tawny igloo]

Unless someone mods in hands in the finished SDK

[mild ginkgo]

theyre very bad looking

[lapis widget]

dusk vr:featuring hands!!

[tawny igloo]

Points if they include dusk dudes leather coat in the hand models

[mild ginkgo]

we can include the hand models in the sdk probably

[grave saddle]

Dusk VR: Fuck Your Brain.

I wouldn't mind a Dusk-themed VR experience.

Like Gorn with guns.

[wide laurel]

Imagine having to continuously jump irl to build up speed

[mild ginkgo]

thats dusks player hands

lol

[tawny igloo]

YO imagine city of shadows in vr

[lapis widget]

kill a man with that thumb

[mild ginkgo]

lmao

its really really bad

[wide laurel]

Can we make this a new emote?

This could be our thumbs up sign

[mild ginkgo]

lmfao that would be funny

[lapis widget]

need a side angle

[wide laurel]

No no, it's funnier this way

[tawny igloo]

I mean it's a little bit tweaking and adding a bit more detail here and there it could work

[mild ginkgo]

its hard to get it at an angle that looks good because uh

yeah

[tawny igloo]

You just need to have to animate also the weapon flipping animations

[grave saddle]

Mmnn...

[wide laurel]

Imagine that he flips his entire arms as well lmao

[grave saddle]

I really wouldn't even mind a VR showcase of enemies and weapons and scenarios.

[wide laurel]

Duskdude is built different

[mild ginkgo]

we actually do/did have some plans for duskvr

maybe we'll get around to it

maybe we wont

[tawny igloo]

Call dusk VR "the Pennsylvania experience"

[grave saddle]

Honestly, I just want to demo a Super Shotgun.

Don't even want a game, just a ten-twenty dollar showcase of cool shit.

[wide laurel]

For morons who happen to make videogames, DUSK is a fantastic game

[lapis widget]

duskdude gets a grill cheese

[tawny igloo]

Was there originally a dusk thing for maximum action eons ago?

Before it cut ties with NB

[mild ginkgo]

yes

[tawny igloo]

It still stings, maximum action is still a fun game

[wide laurel]

Aw hell yeah

[grave saddle]

As my boyfriend put it: Something... Not Quite Wicked.

[wide laurel]

Finally, the best emote

[mild ginkgo]

im sure george will continue to work on finishing it!

[tawny igloo]

I mean recently maximum action did get a update where you drive around in a jungle in a tank or on a motorcycle

[grave saddle]

If I have to model and animate it myself, I shall put Dusk Dude in Left 4 Dead 2.

[wide laurel]

I love it when FPS games pull something completely unexpected but that still fits into the world and gameplay

[tawny igloo]

And you can theoretically have dusk in MA, just have duel lever action shotguns in it and Bam there's dusk

[wide laurel]

For DUSK it was the entirety of chapter 3

[wide laurel]

And for MA, it's this lol. Didn't think there would even BE vehicles to drive in that game

[tawny igloo]

Episode 3 is where dusk goes from "oh it's a quirky Quake like" to "this is wholly different"

[grave saddle]

Episode 3 is when Dusk becomes Dusk.

And when Dusk proves itself worthy.

[wide laurel]

Episode 3 is what happens when a treasure hunter decides to inhale this weird green-ish meth that he found in some mines for the first time

[tawny igloo]

It's absolutely amazing how episode 3 is the hardest Dave had to work on dusk and almost gave up on and it came out to be the best episode of the entire game

[mild ginkgo]

I like ep1 the most, but its also hard to be objective about dusk at all for me

and yeah ep3 was a challenge for the whole team, david really had to push himself

[wide laurel]

I still get chills thinking about E3M9

[grave saddle]

So do I.

But that's the PTSD talking.

[mild ginkgo]

lol

duskmare e3m9

[tawny igloo]

I think all three episodes are the best, episode 1 for it's ambience, episode 2 for it's fights, episode 3 for it's grandure

[grave saddle]

[wide laurel]

Even Maurice wouldn't be able to handle that

[grave saddle]

I am stronger-willed than Maurice.

[tawny igloo]

Duskmare E3M9 is just basically hotline Miami

[grave saddle]

Still need to record it... Thanks for reminding me.

[wide laurel]

I remember my hands hurting the next day because of how hard I was playing E3M9 the night before and I still went "that was fucking amazing" when I managed to get it done

[grave saddle]

So much.

[mild ginkgo]

wait until ultrakill must die maurice

[grave saddle]

I'll play that, too.

I cannot wait to get thirty restarts on 0-1.

[wide laurel]

Impossible. Maurice is strong will itself

[grave saddle]

Five of which are at the very beginning.

[wide laurel]

I can't even beat V2 yet lmao

[tawny igloo]

I'm surprised there isn't a achievement that's just titled

"Worthy indeed"
(Beat e3m9 on DUSKMARE)

[grave saddle]

Well.

That's because it'd make the game practically impossible to one hundred.

[wide laurel]

Don't give them ideas don't give them ideas don't give them ideas

[grave saddle]

For the unworthy.

[wide laurel]

You know a level is hard when even the devs are like "yeah, that level on max difficulty is hell on earth"

[grave saddle]

Thankfully.

I play that game on Ultra-Violence.

[wide laurel]

I'm a baby and always play these games on standard difficulty

[mild ginkgo]

the normal mode appreciator

[grave saddle]

Cero Miedo only prepares you for the speed.

[mild ginkgo]

truly asended

[tawny igloo]

What I find really interesting with dusk is how episode 1 takes place in Pennsylvania is when I actually went into the rural areas of Pennsylvania for a family thing, it absolutely felt kinda creepy at sunset and night

[grave saddle]

Duskmare is its own beast.

[wide laurel]

Shoutouts to the accessibility options in these games btw, they're awesome

[tawny igloo]

There's nothing but woods for miles, no towns for 30 mins in any direction

[wide laurel]

Finally: a game that gets Pennsylvania right

[tawny igloo]

And at night it's almost pitch black dark too

[mild ginkgo]

PA is no man's land in the rural parts

nothing but trees and lingering evil for miles

[tawny igloo]

My uncle even had a few firearms and BBguns I could fire when I went up there so yeah

[grave saddle]

Oklahoma is similar in some parts.

Fired shotguns.

[wide laurel]

Nyarlathotep is always just chilling at the very bottom of Pennsylvania

[grave saddle]

You cannot akimbo those bastards.

[wide laurel]

With his comically large cigar

[tawny igloo]

I mean the one secret in E1 m3 where you see trees for miles is close

[grave saddle]

Right next to a goddamn cliff.

That was the one place I quick-saved.

Just to see if there was an invisible wall.

There wasn't.

[tawny igloo]

I thought it was clouds for a minute until I looked closer and it was like "oh those are trees"

[mild ginkgo]

invisible walls suck just let the players jump out of the map and die to the void like they want

[tawny igloo]

Yes I'm comparing dusk to real life Pennsylvania

[grave saddle]

Aye!

[tawny igloo]

Esp rural Pennsylvania

[wide laurel]

"That infinite darkness won't stop me because I can't see"

[grave saddle]

Just have, like, a small wall.

That let's players climb up on it and wander around.

[wide laurel]

Guess I'll go with cycles to PA just in case

[tawny igloo]

There's no invisible walls in dusk because like in Pennsylvania there is no invisible walls

[grave saddle]

Just explore the outside of the map.

[crimson folio]

Then put a "go away" message on

[wide laurel]

But if you step off the right path, you die instantly

[grave saddle]

No reason, maybe throw a "Go Away" message, like you said.

[magic trout]

remove the invisible walls in E2M1 then so I can get my Sword easily

I've been debating about all full deathless run of DUSK on Cero Miedo Low Tech%

the problem is going to be getting the Sword in E2M1

[tawny igloo]

Is there a reason why the intro videos for each episode lag a bit on the PC version

Especially episode 1

[wide laurel]

I'll never understand people's willingness to experience this kind of pain

[magic trout]

I almost considered DUSKMARE

because Sword is just

that good

[crimson folio]

Cero mideo intruder mode is enough for me lol

[magic trout]

[wide laurel]

Like holy shit, props to you for even attempting that

[grave saddle]

Hardship is worth it.

[magic trout]

I did a "KatanaZERO" playthrough of DUSK where I put on nbhot cheat, had a Sword and put it on DUSKMARE

[grave saddle]

To be worthy.

[crimson folio]

Remember, behind the 4 minutes is 4 hours of pain

[magic trout]

E3M9 was terrifying lmfao

[wide laurel]

Weeb% Run

[magic trout]

though yeah regular DMIM E3M9 was a nightmare

[grave saddle]

I did it without cheats and with a full arsenal.

Was still terrifying.

[wide laurel]

Man, even on Normal that level is terrifying

[tawny igloo]

I actually offered a difficulty called "worthy" mode

Rules are

-game is fixed to CM
-you die once, your game is over, save is erased.
-you cannot save in big fights or boss fights

[wide laurel]

But when that adrenaline kicks in? chef's kiss

[grave saddle]

... It was less of a fight and more of a ohgodohfuck.

[tawny igloo]

-you can only save between levels (for a harder challenge)

[crimson folio]

Not like you could load anyways

[wide laurel]

It'd be my favorite level if it wasn't for Blasphemy's entire aesthetic

[crimson folio]

Or is it like "delete the levels save"

[tawny igloo]

"Press E to accept your death"

[magic trout]

the funniest thing is that of all of the waves in E3M9, I think the first wave on DUSKMARE was legitimately the hardest one

[crimson folio]

Im thinking something like ultra nightmare from doom eternal

[mild ginkgo]

Duskmare saveless intruder ironman mode lets gooo

[grave saddle]

I did it faster.

Ha.

[wide laurel]

I'm saying this in the best way possible, but I see why you're not a dev m8

[grave saddle]

(Still, though, great job.)

[mild ginkgo]

i beat e3m9 duskmare, all i had to do was type in nbdeity

(not actually though lol)

[wide laurel]

"I had to become god to defeat god"

[tawny igloo]

I would be a decent producer cause I always think about game design some days, but some days I think about game design that's absolutely just meant to crush your balls

[magic trout]

the Dusk Sword is just so, so good

[upbeat pecan]

it for sure is

[magic trout]

I can't get enough of it

[wide laurel]

CBT, but in gaming form

[grave saddle]

I never really used the sword during that Duskmare run.

[wide laurel]

Love that weapon

[grave saddle]

Looking back, holding it in front of me like a security blanket may have helped.

[magic trout]

the levels where I did get it I basically mained the damn thing

[upbeat pecan]

you pretty much RNG attempts wave 1 and then circle the edge until the goat wave, get a little scared on the goat wave, and clear that and your good the rest of the run

[tawny igloo]

Cause I see people play doom eternal and say "oh this is now too easy cause it's not hard anymore"

"Okay so let me make the video game equivalent of mixing and extracting every hot pepper to mankind into one sauce"

[mild ginkgo]

🌶️

[wide laurel]

Imagine duskdude becoming so strong that he decides to do E3M9 with just the Dusk Sword and pulls it off

[grave saddle]

The RNG came from the damn rats.

[tawny igloo]

It's so hard it's almost toxic to humans

[grave saddle]

I got so much anxiety from that wave just due to the absolute shame I'd feel if I died to a rat.

[mild ginkgo]

lol

[wide laurel]

Dusk is the reason why I now hate rats in videogames

[magic trout]

rat wave was anxiety inducing as well

imagine if they combo'd the rats and the w*ndigos

jesus

[tawny igloo]

I think every new blood game now has to come with rats

[wide laurel]

Every time I see one, I hit/shoot them by pure instinct and rage

[tawny igloo]

That just take one HP off of you but they're annoying to hit

[magic trout]

where's the AMID EVIL rats Leon

[tawny igloo]

The oddjob of video games

[wide laurel]

TafferKing decides to add the biggest rat you've ever seen in your life as the final boss in Gloomwood

And is the avatar of the Black Death

[tawny igloo]

Rats that give away your location

[grave saddle]

"I hate rats." -Worthy Man.

[wide laurel]

Ay that's me

[magic trout]

there IS a confirmed ratacombs-ass level for Gloomwood

[tawny igloo]

Guard: "I heard a rat, where is it" (notices player) AH"

[magic trout]

hang on, lemme find the tweet

[wide laurel]

Am I worthy? 😳

[grave saddle]

No.

Unless?

[magic trout]

you're not a shitname you're a cumname

[tawny igloo]

The guards have a rat problem and they're constantly trying to take care of it while also trying to hunt you down

[wide laurel]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Dave please tell me that was just a joke
